We have worked so hard on this one and I believe this is the best one by far I’ve ever been a part of.

Brevity is the soul of wit. Here's the Signal version of "Loose Lips Sink Ships" we made.
![A poster designed in a "wartime propaganda" theme, highlighting the dangers of poorly administrated Signal group chats. In it, a hand holding a mobile device with a Signal chat is juxtaposed with a looming silhouette of a person in a trench coat and fedora, the fedora festooned with a card that says "PRESS" on it.
